Photo Books – The Perfect Gift

Have you ever wanted to give someone special in your life a gift that would really mean something to them for years to come?  My family recently went to New York City and I wanted to put together the photos as a gift.  I chose to do a photo album, but not just any old photo album, one that is bound like a book and of professional quality.

Websites where you can create a photo book include Shutterfly.com, Costco.com, and Kodakgallery.com, just to name a few.  It is really not complicated and the finished products are amazing.  You get to pick the style of your book.  For my book, I used a travel theme for our New York City trip.  You upload your pictures and you drop them into a template.  If you change your mind you can replace the pictures easily during the editing process.  You can also add text to your photo album to describe the event or the people in the photo.  Once you are done, you order as many copies as you like and just like that you have your own professional photo book to give to your loved ones.

Photo gifts take a little planning ahead and time to complete.  I believe that you will find that it is well worth the effort once you see the pleasure of the person receiving it has in sharing the memories of special times captured in the pictures.  Mother’s Day is just around the corner.  Why not take some time now and create a one of a kind gift for the Mom, Grandma or special lady in your life?  You will be so happy you did!
